Earning the powder descent.Immense day out in Switzerland with Rory and Josie today, where we skinned from the Col de la Forclaz up to the Pointe Ronde (2700m). The promised blue sky day failed to materialise but with 1400 metres to climb it was probably a good thing that it wasn't too hot. We took about 4 hours to get up, via the Chalet de Giete, and then had an absolutely unbelievable descent.
We started out with some gentle slopes with perfect light powder and then headed onto the face part of the descent and the powder just kept coming at up to 40 degrees. Finished off with yet more powder through the trees and a dart along the path back to the car. Do this tour!!!!!
